Finally, I just want to say “thank you” to everybody who has supported this venture. We’ve been able to pay our crew and all our bills, which means a lot. What means more is proving that completely independent ventures can muscle their way through the blizzard of big-budget behemoths. (A blizzard of behemoths? Back to writing school, alliteration-junkie!) All that rhetoric about the future of entertainment that flew about during the Strike is still entirely true. We need to find our own way of producing entertainment. A lot of people are watching Dr. Horrible to see if it’s any kind of model — way more people than I expected — and it means everything to me to help pave the way for artists to start working and making a living from the ground up.

A lot of people are watching this experiment in self-production and Web distribution. It’s encouraging that Dr. Horrible as taken off the way it has. As I’ve said before, this project deserves an in-depth case study that details how each of the various distribution methods — iTunes sales, Hulu ad sponsorship, and (soon) DVD sales — have faired in generating revenue.
